It is fun! The Turkey Challenge is about making some good choices and getting support.

Support is an essential part of success. With Friends around us we feel stronger, not so alone and like anything is possible.

Here is why we need Support:

“I’ve talked to nearly 30,000 people on this show, and all 30,000 had one thing in common — they all wanted validation. … They want to know, do you hear me? Do you see me? Does what I say mean anything to you?” -Oprah Winfrey

“The best mirror is a friend’s eye.”-Unknown

“It is important for people to know that no matter what lies in their past, they can overcome the dark side and press on the a brighter world.” — Dave Pelzer

“A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.” –Walter Winchill

Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.”-Thomas J. Watson

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. –Henry Ford

We are so glad for your friendship and we so excited to bring out the best in you! We want to help you to “Stick to It!”

“Stick to It” means that You Gt Your Best Results during the Turkey Challenge by doing a few things, like Journal/Keep-Track/Write-Down your intake, following an Isagenix program (Today is a CLEANSE DAY) or by staying within 200-300 calories for breakfast 300-400 calories for lunch and 500-800 additional calories for the rest of your meals and snacks.

BUT…. Why? Why do we need to “Stick to It”?

There are many things that factor in to weight loss, but a lot just has to do with #’s. The Why is ALL in the Numbers and Here is Why: The number of calories the body needs to consumes in a day is different for every person and so are their caloric needs if they want to lose weight. You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the “percent daily values” are based on a 2,000 calorie diet — 2,000 calories is a rough average of what people eat in a day.

But… your body might need more or less than 2,000. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level. If you are following an Isagenix Program, you are consuming about 1200 calories on a shake day. That is the minimum most nutritionist will recommend without Dr. supervision. If your following the healthy eating program your consuming on average about the same amount. That will put most of you at a 800 calorie deficit and you will be losing weight! Woot Woot!

BUT… There is more! According to the American Heart Association,

“more than 140 million American adults are overweight. (Did you check your BMI? Are you one of them?) Of these, nearly 66 million are obese. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop heart disease and stroke (and whole lot of other illness), even if they have no other risk factors. Obesity is unhealthy because excess weight puts more strain on your heart. (Your joint, and bones to) It can raise blood pressure and blood cholesterol and can lead to diabetes. Losing weight is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of heart problems and other diseases. You can reduce your risk of heart disease by reaching and staying at your best weight.”

That’s why! It’s also why we are hoping that some of these changes with “Stick with You!”

AND… The WINNER is (We can’t tell you yet!!!! Results aren’t due until Midnight EST)

The most important thing to be aware of if you have type 2 diabetes and or high blood pressure, is that both can be avoided! By leading a healthy lifestyle that includes a diet low in fat and calories, as well as physical activity can go a long way in reducing your chances of developing diabetes and high blood pressure.

Here’s some information that Isagenix Shared on their Blog resently:

“In a recent study published in The Lancet and reported in HealthDay News, once again confirmed that diet and exercise were successful in reducing risk for those most in jeopardy of developing type 2 diabetes.

The study, which lasted a decade and included more than 3,000 overweight and obese adults, showed that those who lost weight through reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity cut their risk of getting diabetes by one-third, compared to those with no intervention.

So if you are ready, better health can be achieved through lifestyle choices that includes a diet lower in fat and calories, exercising regularly and Isagenix. These efforts will not only help you achieve your weight loss goals, but also reduce the risk of developing other life treating conditions in the long run.”

Here is what Isagenix can offer:

Isagenix is for every “BODY”. Isagenix has products that are both safe and effective for every age group. It is never too late! You are never too old for Isagenix!

Isagenix Advice:

“If you have Type 2 diabetes there are a few things of which you should be aware if deciding to use the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System.

Type 2 diabetes

Monitor your glucose levels closely since its easy to have low levels while on the program. Isagenix Doctors recommend to their diabetics that they cut their medications in half if they are going to start on the 9-Day Program and if they are using insulin to only use the shorter-acting insulins. Please consult your doctor before adjusting medication. However, the 9 Day Program is disciplined and the 30 Day may be be better place to start. Results will not be as dramatic but it will be something you can stick to.

Isagenix Doctors say that a temporary glucose rise would be OK since its better than you falling into a hypoglycemic state, which is more dangerous than a hyperglycemic state. What is generally seen is a reduction of both medication and glucose levels with this program. The Shake Days may very well show an increase in the glucose levels but as your weight goes down this generally is self-correcting. If this rise is too great for you then you can switch to just the IsaPro or you can use ½ a shake 4 times a day or reduce the amount to just ½ a shake 2 times a day.

Many Isagenix say that their patients no longer require any type of medication for diabetes, but individual differences doesnt make this the case for everyone.* At the very least you should see a reduction in your weight and a reduction in the amount of medication that you are using.”

High Blood Pressure

“Being overweight is also a risk factor for high blood pressure because it increases the volume of blood flowing through your vessels, causing an increase in pressure on artery walls. If overweight, losing a few pounds can help to lower high blood pressure and help you feel better. :)

The Isagenix® Cleansing and Fat Burning System is an excellent program for weight loss. This system includes nutritional cleansing and replacing meals with high-protein shakes. If you are on high-blood pressure medication, however, please be advised that you should check with your doctor before starting the system or any other weight-loss program. Just because it is always best to have your Dr on board. Also, lowering calories or “deep cleansing” can potentially lower blood pressure too quickly if you are on medication, it is important for your doctor to monitor you and make medication adjustments as appropriate.”

Here is what a day with Isagenix looks like:

Remember, Isagenix can be flexible – Make it fit your schedule.

Isagenix offers something for every”body”.

On a 9 Day you will have enough product to have 2 Pre Cleanse Days (which are the same as Shake Days), 4 Cleanse Days and 5 Shake Days. You’ll start with the 2 Pre Cleanse Days. Follow with 2 Cleanse Days. Than 5 Shake Days. Finish up with 2 more Cleanse Days.

On a 30 Day Nutritional Cleanse you will start with 2 Pre Cleanse Days(which are the same as shake days), then 1 Cleanse Day. Follow with 6 Shake Days and repeat the Cleanse Day. Repeat 6 Shake Days/1 Cleanse. That’s it. On a 30 Day Cleanse you will only cleanse one day a week. The rest are all Shake Days.

On the Total Wellness Plan you’ll cleanse two days a month. The rest are 1 shake and two meals.

You’ll do great! You are going to Love how you feel!

All of this info will be in you program guide book that you will receive with you first shipment. During my first 30 Day Nutritional Cleanse I found it helpful to follow a written plan. I picked the times because they worked for me. You can change or rotate anything you like.

Use a low-sugar fiber supplement if needed to increase fiber intake. Start low and slowly add to diet.

Consume more mono- and polyunsaturated fats from fish, olive oil, walnuts, almonds, and flax seed. Increase consumption of fish oil. Studies have shown that long-chain omega-3s from fish are especially beneficial in promoting heart health (hear thealth is an important factor in diabetes).

Get enough of the “sunshine vitamin.” Recent studies show that vitamin D is helpful for optimal heart health.

Sometimes it takes only a few words to have a major impact on a conversation, e.g. the health of the population of the United States. I was struck by the brevity of a recent article from Reuters (Diabetes to Double or Triple in U.S. by 2050: Government, http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE69L21Y20101022, October 22, 2010). The title leapt off the page and said almost as much as the entire article. The piece presented grim facts concerning the current trends of health and diet in the United States. If we continue down our current path of inactivity and poor eating habits it is predicted that the occurrence of Diabetes will escalate from its current level of approximately 1 in 10 adults to as high as 1 in 3 by 2050. Considering the fact that both Tamara and I have a history of Diabetes in our family, this is one of the reasons we have made Isagenix® such a significant part of our lives and the lives of our children. Diabetes is the gift that keeps on giving. Once you have it, you have it for life. In some instances it can be controlled, but it will not go away once you have it.

I have heard it suggested that this is a problem only for those who choose to not take care of themselves. In reality is a problem that will affect virtually every single American on a multitude of fronts. First and foremost is the associated cost which was estimated at $174 billion dollars per year in 2007. The cost in 2050 dollars when we assume the suggested progression of the disease is truly incomprehensible. The costs will grow exponentially when lost labor, weight related injuries and workers compensation claims are factored in. This is why Tamara and I speak so passionately about Isagenix® products whenever we are given the opportunity.

Isagenix is the easiest and healthiest way to maintain overall health.

Our passion is to get our patients health from the cell up. This means that consuming whole foods, super foods such as Isagenix along with vitamin and mineral supplements is the first line in helping anyone get healthy or maintain health.

Chelation is done in several ways;
IV targeting the blood directly and in nutrition, using botanicals and types and or forms of ions attracting metals etc for collection and elimination from the body.

An example of this is Di-Benzo-Alpha-Pyrones, a small molecules (a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction), that can attract and collect heavy metals from blood, then causing chelation to occur. This is a component of Shilajit in the Ionix Supreme.

Disglycemic tendencies;
(abnormal blood sugar regula- tion). Disglycemia can show up as an elevated fasting blood sugar (above 100) or an abnormal rise in blood sugar after ingesting something sweet (higher than 150 after a meal). Disglycemic blood sugar may indicate a tendency toward diabetes or insulin resistance.

This may be caused by being over weight, but can be controlled in this case by reducing the body fat in a safe and nutritionally supported way.

Deep Cleansing;
This is not recommended because its hard to set a plan that works for every diabetic. Everyone is so different. Regulating blood sugars are a balancing act, If you reduct your carb intake and not adjust your insulin, you will have an insulin reaction.
Deep cleansing must be regulated and monitored by your doctor or health care provider.

Fiber;
Fiber is important for diabetics, it slows the carbs greatly and helps stabilize blood sugar. Adding the FiberPro and eating Slim Cakes will help

Mens / Women’s Vitamins;
Its always a benefit to add the necessary B vitamins to your regime, they help as well

Omegas;
Very important for helping in insulin receptors making your body recognize insulin better.

There are many added ingredients in Isagenix system for helping stabilize blood suagrs too;

There is a good chance you and your family are not getting enough fiber.

Most of us just don’t eat enough of the right kinds of foods and as a result, less than 10 percent of Americans get their recommended daily intake of fiber. Most doctors agree that adults and even children need more Fiber to promoting digestive and heart health.

Why Is Fiber Important?

A daily intake of 25 to 35 grams of fiber is recommended to provide long-term support for internal health. Yet none of us are coming close to meeting that recommendation. Todays foods lack the necessary fiber to move the food through our digestive tracts and through our stomach quickly. As a result food is sitting in the stomach and bowels for a longer amount of time, causing a host of problems in these parts of the body. People who eat too much processed foods instead of wholegrain, fruits and vegetables may be at risk of suffering from obesity and other disorders too.

What Makes Isagenix FiberPro Unique?
According to Isagenix, it is the combination of multiple fiber sources-including prebiotic fiber-along with six strains of probiotics and citrus bioflavonoids that makes FiberPro unlike any other fiber supplement on the market today. Additionally, because FiberPro is fully soluble and flavorless, this advanced formula is easy to incorporate into the things you and your kids already eat. It will dissolve into any liquid and you can cook with it! FiberPro is the perfect supplement to help fill the gap between the amount of fiber you and family are getting and what you should be getting.

What Benefits Does FiberPro Provide?
Isagenix states that, FiberPro encourages regularity with insoluble fiber that gently cleanses the digestive tract and colon, and soluble fiber that absorbs and eliminates impurities.
The probiotics in FiberPro repopulate the colon with healthy bacteria and help reduce the number of unhealthy bacteria for improved digestion.*
The prebiotic fiber in FiberPro feeds the healthy bacteria and helps it to grow, which aids in nutrient absorption.
The soluble fiber in FiberPro supports cardiovascular health.*

Weight Management Support
FiberPro adds an additional 5 grams of fiber per serving for a greater feeling of fullness, which helps to curb appetite.
The fiber in FiberPro helps regulate blood sugar by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.*

With an increase in fiber, FiberPro supports prostate health.*

So what is Ionic Alfalfa™?
It combines alfalfa with more than 70 organic trace minerals that are ionized for accelerated delivery. This combination greatly enhances the superior overall health benefits of minerals for improved well-being so of course Isagenix included it in FiberPro.

“If you must cheat, choose healthy low-calorie foods like nuts, small salads and vegetables.”

That being said,

ANSWER;
Here’s the Deal,

Cleansing is done for several reasons, to rid your body of toxins and also to loose weight.
Both require proper cleansing instructions and doing it correct, this will insure success.

Over the years, everyone think they are experts and have changed the original cleansing. This has lowered the the success rate, average weight loss, and slowed the system.

Eating foods on cleanse days is some fabricated crutch to appease cheaters and sugar addicts. Someone started the almond thing and has caused a rash of foods including eggs, salad, nuts, yogurt, chewing gum, vegetables, fruits, to be added as an “OK” thing to do.

The IsaSnacks are part of an important calculation, balanced nutrients formulated for a reason. The need to stabilize blood sugar was a factor when I originally designed the 9 day system. Adding a snack 6 times a day stimulates the colon slightly, adds a small amount of carbohydrates, and stabilizes blood sugar.

Ketosis is necessary for uncovering (Burning fat) where toxins are present. So, the need to enter a mild state of ketosis is a must for really detoxifying and BURNING FAT! By adding any other nuts and food will disrupt the process.

Diabetics and Hypoglycemic individuals must watch their blood sugar closely for LOW blood sugar. If this occurs, then it is recommended to eat a slice of apple or fruit and if needed, repeat until levels are back to normal.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who Panic when the hunger signs hit. This is a trained mind response that occurs as a survival mechanism. One starts to feel their next meal is not coming and PANIC sets in.

This can be reversed and the habit broken in 48 hours by not teasing your self and eating snacks to keep the evil hunger monster away. Regardless of your weight, this can be controlled. In some cases, the mental stress of “The next Meal Syndrome” may require support from a coach, physician, friend, or someone who can work on the strong mental factor of assuring “Death” will not occur, so to speak!

JA WAY TO CLEANSE;
Drink 16 ounces of cleanse during the entire day in your drinking water,
Add 6 snacks daily during your cleanse,
2 IsaDelights are optional,
You may also take your Essentials, Ionix, C-Lyte, Omegas, and a little WME.

NO’s;
eggs
nuts
fruit
vege’s
salad
or any other foods.
If you do eat these snacks, you will be hungry during the cleanse and have a much harder time, so doing it the JA Way will help you succeed..

ADDITIONAL NOTE; Constipation

NEW MESSAGE SENT TO ME;
“I have battled with extra pounds. The Isagenix concept sounded perfect for my goals and lifestyle. So, despite my tight budget, I opted for the 30 day program. I’m on the 30 day cleanse program and have struggled with constipation since day 1. Despite all my efforts and the supplemental options available (Isaflush), I have not been able to successfully eliminate and unfortunately am not feeling or seeing the benefits of Isagenix. For that matter, I’m quite miserable. I have not experienced anything more uncomfortable and stressful than constipation…and so I’m feeling pretty rotten right now.”

JOHN’S ANSWER;
constipation is sometimes a problem for those who have cronic issues. I do suggest adding IsaFiber Pro when this occurs.
Thanks

Lack of sleep can be a major cause of high blood sugar in the morning, sounds like she may be kicking and tossing. High levels cause leg aching and just add to restless nights. Sleep apnea is very devastating to diabetics. There is a morning high sugar problem called twilight, this is when a diabetic wakes up every morning with high blood sugar for no reason. The cause, “Lack of Sleep”.

The liver does produce glucose and adds to the problem if insulin medication is not taken.

Your friend needs an evaluation from a qualified specialist now!
There is no way to know the history without record keeping and monitoring levels, food/carbohydrate consumption, medications, collectively. This is the responsibility of both the diabetic and the Doctor.

Nutrition;
All Diabetics are not created equal!
Because blood levels and treatment are subject to each individual, there is no way to set one program up to work for every diabetics needs.

There are ways to win the battle and using “nutrition” is one of them. A diabetic need to become aware of controlling their blood sugar levels. and how to use their medications first.
Then it’s very easy to make the necessary adjustments to live healthy and control and minimize the damaging affect of Diabetes.

The IsaLean Shakes, Cleanse, and system can be used with great results and control weight. Be aware and know your body, follow the sliding scale your Doctor recommends, and you will feel better than ever.

I will give some examples for you and your friend and post! soon!
